iThe annual costs associated with the transaction 

to each company are dependent upon the number 

of SSN transactions submitted to SSA by the 

company on a yearly basis. For example, if a 

company anticipates submitting 1 million requests 

to SSA for the year, its total transaction cost for the 

year would be $1.10 × 1,000,000, or $1,100,000. 

Periodically, SSA will calculate our costs to provide 

CBSV services and adjust the fee charged as needed. 

SSA notifies companies in writing and via Federal 

Register Notice of any changes and companies have 

the opportunity to cancel the agreement or continue 

service using the new transaction fee.

Bureau of Oceans and International 

Environmental Scientific Affairs; 

Climate Action Report 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice; request for public 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this 

announcement is to notify interested 

members of the public of the 

opportunity to submit comments to the 

draft 2014 Climate Action Report (CAR) 

on U.S. climate change actions. This 

draft CAR consists of two documents, 

the National Communication and the 

Biennial Report, that respond to 

reporting requirements under the UN 

Framework Convention on Climate 

Change (UNFCCC). The document 

contains the sixth National 

Communication, which is provided in 

accordance with Articles 4.2 and 12 of 

the UNFCCC and accompanying 

decisions. The draft CAR also includes 

the Biennial Report, which summarizes 

major actions taken to address climate 

change, covering the period up to 2020, 

and contains additional reporting 

information as specified in decisions 1/ 

CP.16, 2/CP.17 (Annex I), and 19/CP.18. 

The United States submitted the first 

U.S. CAR to the UNFCCC Secretariat in 

1994, and subsequent reports in 1997, 

2002, 2006, and 2010. 

These documents set out major 

actions the U.S. government is taking at 

the federal level, highlight examples of 

state and local actions, and outline U.S. 

efforts to assist other countries in 

addressing climate change. Each 

document meets specific UN reporting 

requirements, resulting in overlap 

between the documents. This report 

reflects the U.S. Government 

commitment to the UNFCCC to 

communicate U.S. actions and policies 

addressing climate change 

transparently. 

See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for 

instructions on accessing the electronic 

version of the report, file format

and other information about electronic 

filing.

This report contains descriptions of 

specific measured and verified actions, 

outlines of broad policy initiatives, and 

summaries of activities conducted by 

the United States since the Fifth CAR,

change.
